| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The private papers of Sir Philip Morris reveal how he prepared himself for the chairmanship of the 1959 Oxford Conference on Commonwealth Education with briefing from the Commonwealth Relations Office, what he brought to the meeting from his own experience, and what he learnt from the chair. British ministers and officials as hosts of the conference were ambivalent about its outcome. They could not disentangle the prospect of educational co-operation across the Commonwealth from all that was being done to set up a system for giving development assistance to the new states created by decolonisation. |
